Pickle is simple enough.

You can think of the "key" option like this: when sort comes to compare
elements x and y it gives you the option of telling *what* you want to
compare about x and y. You might, for example, want to sort a list of
strings based on their *length* not on their alphabetical position. To do
so, wri

That's an anonymous function, also known as a lambda function. Let's
take an example:
>>> a = range(10)
>>> a
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
>>> map(lambda x: 2*x, a)
[0, 2, 4, 6

Hello, everyone!
Thank you for your very helpful comments. A few follow up questions,
and then I'll show you where I've come so far:
1. Max - I think you're right about keeping it (score, name). It *is*
much simpler to work with it that way, and would be easier to change
the display and just ha

Interestingly, the key argument is the solution to this problem:

I am trying it out with a list of tuples right now. The first problem
I ran into is that when i sort it (scorelist.sort(reverse=True)), it
sorts by the person's name (the first entry), and not by the score.

Hi
I've read somewhere that the appropiate way to make a best score list is with a dictionarie
So you'll have something like this:
best_score={"Peter":100,"Jhon":23}
